《Willie And Laura Mae Jones(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Willie And Laura Mae Jones (LP版) - Brook Benton (布鲁克·本顿)

[00:00:07] Willie and Laura Mae Jones

[00:00:10] Were our neighbors as long time back

[00:00:13] They lived right down the road from us

[00:00:17] In a shack just like our shack

[00:00:20] We worked in the fields together

[00:00:22] We have learned to count on each other

[00:00:25] And when you live off the land

[00:00:27] You don't have time to think

[00:00:29] About another man's color

[00:00:33] The cotton was high

[00:00:34] And the corn was growing fine

[00:00:38] Fine

[00:00:39] But that was another place

[00:00:41] And another time

[00:00:43] Another time

[00:00:48] We sit out on the front porch

[00:00:51] In the evening when the sun went down

[00:00:54] And little Willie would play and Laura would sing

[00:00:57] And the children would dance around

[00:01:00] And I'd bring over my guitar

[00:01:03] And we'd play into the night

[00:01:06] And every now and then

[00:01:07] Willie would grin and say

[00:01:09] Bro you should play all right

[00:01:11] And that made me feel good

[00:01:13] Yes sir the cotton was high

[00:01:15] And the corn was growing fine

[00:01:19] But that was another place

[00:01:22] And another time

[00:01:29] I remember we'd hitch up the mules

[00:01:31] When saturday rolled around

[00:01:34] We'd always stop by Willies house and say

[00:01:37] Do you'll need anything from town

[00:01:43] He'd say no but why don't you'll

[00:01:45] Stop on your way back home

[00:01:49] And I'll get Laura Mae

[00:01:51] To cook up some corn porns

[00:01:53] You know they're good

[00:01:54] Lord the cotton was high

[00:01:56] And the corn was growing fine

[00:01:59] Go to the work

[00:02:01] But that was another place

[00:02:03] And another time

[00:02:10] The years rolled past our land

[00:02:12] And took back what they'd given

[00:02:15] And we all knew we'd have to move on

[00:02:18] If we was gonna make a living

[00:02:21] So we all moved off

[00:02:24] And went our separate ways

[00:02:27] And it sure was hard to say goodbye

[00:02:30] To Willies and Laura Mae

[00:02:34] Yes sir the cotton was high

[00:02:36] And the corn was growing fine

[00:02:38] The corn was growing fine

[00:02:40] Yes it was

[00:02:41] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:44] Another place and another time

[00:02:55] The years rolled past our door

[00:02:58] And we heard from them no more

[00:03:01] Till I saw Willie down town the other day

[00:03:07] I said just stop by tonight

[00:03:10] And we can sit down and have a little bite

[00:03:13] I would love to see your children and Laura Mae

[00:03:19] He shook his head real slow

[00:03:21] Slow

[00:03:22] He spoke with his eyes so can

[00:03:24] Is it

[00:03:25] This is another place and another time

[00:03:28] And another time

[00:03:29] Lord the cotton was high

[00:03:32] And the corn was growing fine

[00:03:34] The corn was growing fine

[00:03:36] But that was another place and another time

[00:03:40] Another place and another time

[00:03:42] I see the cotton was high

[00:03:43] And the corn was growing fine

[00:03:45] The corn was growing fine

[00:03:48] But that was another place and another time

[00:03:51] Another place and another time
